I was looking up and down for any explanation as to why 4k is different from 2160p. Shows that this one has no clue what they're talking about.
It's nitpicking, whether it runs at 3840x2160 or 4096x2160 does not matter. Same goes for calling it 4K or UHD, even when one is technically incorrect.
If even Sony calls their 3840x2160 blu-rays "4K UHD" I'm fine with the average person using them interchangeable.
Why is it incorrect? 4k isn't a formal standard. It just means you have approximatly 4k horizontal pixels.
Huh TIL
I thought it was because 4k has 4x the pixel count of 1080p
